Crossrail project shortlisted at concrete awards

We are excited to announce that the Crossrail C610 Floating Track Slab project has been shortlisted at the Concrete Society Awards 2018.

The Awards, which takes place on Wednesday 21st November, is in its 50th year and is the longest running UK Construction Industry Awards. The event provides an opportunity to showcase projects for their excellence in concrete as a structural, architectural and sustainable material.

LKAB Minerals and the project team Crossrail, Arup, ATC, London Concrete and Camfaud Concrete Pumps, have been shortlisted alongside 15 other projects. You can find out more about the event by visiting the website.

High Density Floating Track Slab

Due to open for service in December 2018, the Crossrail project will see over 42km of tunnels pass beneath central London.

In certain sections of the tunnel network, the noise and vibration impacts from the operating railway were of particular concern. The solution was a high density floating track slab (FTS), produced using MagnaDense concrete with a density of 3.6 t/m3.

In September 2017, the project team held a technical webinar to explain more about the project. Watch it now by clicking here.
